HOME RESULTS

SOUTH KENT, CONN. – Three Pirates shot under par and the Seton Hall men's golf team is in third place at the Hartford Hawks Invitational following the first round on Monday.

The field was originally slated to play two continuous rounds today and one final round on Tuesday, but rain forced the cancellation of today's second round. As a result, the tournament will be shortened to just two rounds.

Seton Hall shot a 6-under-par, 282, in the first round and is six strokes behind the team leader, Cal Poly entering Tuesday's final 18 holes. The Pirates had an identical 282 in the first round of this event last year, which is tied for the second-lowest par-72 single-round score in program history.

Senior Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) was again the standard bearer for the Pirates. The 2015 BIG EAST champion shot a 3-under-par, 69, and is currently tied for sixth place among 107 golfers. He enters the final round four strokes behind Central Florida's Donnie Trosper for the individual lead. Go has now shot under par in three of his first four rounds this fall.

Sophomore Gen Nagai (Mandaue Cebu City, Philippines) and freshman Alex Chalk (Castle Douglas, Scotland) each fired a 2-under-par, 70, and are tied for eighth place overall. It's Nagai's fourth career sub-par round and Chalk's first.

Sophomore Chris Yeom (Flushing, N.Y.) is currently tied for 37^th place after a 1-over-par, 73, while junior Linus Yip (Sydney, Australia) is just one stroke behind Yeom after a 2-over-par, 74.

Participating as an individual, senior Kevin O'Brien (Wexford, Pa.) is currently 4-over-par with a 76.

The Course:
Nestled in northwestern Connecticut's scenic Litchfield County, Bull's Bridge Golf Club offers a truly unique golf experience. The Berkshire foothills provide an impressive panorama with spectacular views prominent throughout the property. The 18 hole, championship golf course was opened in 2004, and it has quickly commanded the attention of the golf community. Designed by Tom Fazio, one of America's greatest living golf architects, the par-72 layout exemplifies his trademark design versatility. With four sets of tees, two hybrid course layouts and yardages ranging from 5,300 to 7,000 yards, the course simultaneously appeals to and challenges players of all skill levels. While Travel + Leisure Golf rated it one of America's Best New Private Courses in 2004, the course already exhibits a maturity and presentation level well beyond its years.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Hartford, the field is comprised of 17 other teams including: Bethune-Cookman, Bryant, Cal Poly, Central Florida, Connecticut, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson, Fordham, Hofstra, Holy Cross, LIU-Brooklyn, Rhode Island, Rider, Sacred Heart, Sam Houston State, St. John's and Towson.

Tee Times:
The field will play two rounds (36 holes) on Monday and a single final round on Tuesday. There will be a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. both days.

Complete results will be available following each day's competition at SHUpirates.com.
